Meth-cooking suspect wears Breaking Bad t-shirt in mug shot following arrest

A man who was arrested for allegedly running a meth lab in his house aptly wore a Breaking Bad t-shirt for his mug shot, police have revealed.


Daniel Kowalski, 21, donned the ‘Los Pollos Hermanos’ top when being charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance and possession of methamphetamine manufacturing materials.

Breaking Bad is an award-winning TV show in which an unassuming science teacher decides to cook meth with an ex-pupil in order to raise money for his medical bills.

Some of the paraphernalia found in the home of Kowalski

The t-shirt worn by Kowalski is emblazoned with the logo of a fast-food chain heavily featured in the hit US programme.

Officers went to Kowalski’s home at 6.45pm on Monday in the La Grange Highlands area of Illinois, after receiving information that he ‘may be trying to cook’, Cook County Sheriff’s office said.

When they entered they found glass beakers, Bunsen burners and chemicals, though the lab wasn’t active.

They also found 12 jars of psychedelic mushrooms, as well as two other men in the property who were taken into custody but later released without charge.
